Featuring rugged N-Type female connectors with adapters, it delivers accurate standing wave ratio and RF power measurements within a 5% margin, ideal for portable and fixed stations. Its durable metal casing and user-friendly display with calibration options make it a must-have tool for radio enthusiasts aiming to optimize antenna performance and ensure signal clarity. ## Description Product Description Review: Very effective - I was looking for a small, light, power meter covering 2m and 70cm for use at a portable station, to check the antenna and to set output power. This unit fits the bill very well. It is of very good build quality (exceeding my expectations, to be honest) and works flawlessly. The power measurements agree well with other meters, better than 5%, across of a range of levels and on both 144 and 432 MHz. I like how the most recent measurement stays on screen after the RF is switched off, useful if the meter isn't easily visible from the operating position. The frequency counter is a bonus, although I don't think I will make much use of this. It is accurate to all 6 displayed digits (i.e. better than 1 kHz). An interesting feature is the ability, via the menu, to adjust the calibration of power and frequency measurements, although this does not appear to be necessary. The use of N-type sockets instead of the cheap SO239 types should help to minimize the impact of having the unit inline, particularly at 70cm. I couldn't measure the insertion loss, but even though the spec says it is low, I will probably not leave the unit in line once measurements are made, as every 0.1 dB of loss in the antenna feed adds to the noise figure of the receive system. Overall, a very effective unit, ideal for compact portable station use, and good value for money. Review: Compact and Functional SWR meter. - Purchased this to go in my /P kit as it offered a compact solution. Item arrived next day from desertcart so full marks so far. Brief initial tests were conducted with the meter as received, on known VHF and UHF aerials and also on a dummy load. I would echo other reviewers comments in regard to display size, however as a spectacle wearer I had no major problem reading the info. The SWR readings compared with previous tests on my analyser were within tolerance and acceptable. Power readings were all tested at various QRP levels with a dummy load and gave a reasonable guide to rig output. Readings from the forward and reflected power can be manually tweaked through the software as can the frequency displayed. My unit was supplied with a euro 2pin 1 amp charger as well as a UK type charger, and two N' type plug to SO-239 adaptor plugs. All in all this should serve my requirement very well and while it is certainly not Lab quality spec it is not a Lab quality price! As for durability, that remains to be seen, but unit is manufactured in a robust metal case which looks like it will standup well to normal usage. Hope this helps with your purchase decision. ## Features - The SW-102 Digital SWR Meter is engineered for optimal performance within the popular VHF (144-148MHz bands) and UHF (430-450MHz bands) amateur radio bands. This is where it delivers its most accurate readings for Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) and RF Power output, essential for setting up and maintaining efficient antenna systems. - NOT for CB Radio: This SWR meter is NOT compatible with CB radios operating on 27MHz CB channel frequencies. It is designed for higher VHF/UHF bands. Ensure compatibility with your radio's frequency range before purchase. - N-Type Base Connectors: Features robust N-Type female ports for high-frequency accuracy and durability. Comes with 2 N-Type to SO239 adapters - ready to connect to most ham radios and antennas! If your device uses connectors OTHER than N-Type or SO239 (e.g. BNC, SMA, PL-259, TNC), additional third-party adapters are required and not included. - Note: 1.The power meter is NOT for DMR Digital Radio. 2.The meter can measure CW, AM & FM only, cannot meausre RTTY and SSB. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01D86IKIQ | | Antenna | Radio | | AntennaDescription | Radio | | Best Sellers Rank | 51,654 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 18 in Power Monitors | | Brand | Mcbazel | | Brand Name | Mcbazel | | Colour | Black | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,043 Reviews | | Impedance | 50 Ohms | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 46L x 122W x 182H millimetres | | Item Weight | 0.75 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Mcbazel | | Manufacturer Part Number | AFN-msc-030001 | | Maximum Range | 525 Feet | | Maximum range | 525 Feet | | Model Number | SW-102 | | Number of Channels | 1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of channels | 1 | | UPC | 049008695771 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Antenna:** Radio - **Brand:** Mcbazel - **Colour:** Black - **Impedance:** 50 Ohms - **Manufacturer:** Mcbazel - **Maximum range:** 525 Feet - **Number of Packs:** 1 - **Number of channels:** 1 - **Product dimensions:** 46L x 122W x 182H millimetres - **UPC:** 049008695771 ## Images ![Mcbazel Surecom SW-102 Digital VHF/UHF 125-525Mhz Antenna Power & SWR meter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61XlbVSao8L.jpg) ![Mcbazel Surecom SW-102 Digital VHF/UHF 125-525Mhz Antenna Power & SWR meter - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71vBtztd8CL.jpg) ![Mcbazel Surecom SW-102 Digital VHF/UHF 125-525Mhz Antenna Power & SWR meter - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/615CRXXIeWL.jpg) ![Mcbazel Surecom SW-102 Digital VHF/UHF 125-525Mhz Antenna Power & SWR meter - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61WJp1Nak7L.jpg) ![Mcbazel Surecom SW-102 Digital VHF/UHF 125-525Mhz Antenna Power & SWR meter - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/610LSUPZNtL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: how do I operate the Hold function?** A: The Hold function keeps the last measured values on the display even when there is no more transmission signal present from the attached radio device. The display values will automatically start to update when a new transmit signal is present at the input of the device. **Q: What is the firmware version?** A: The version in mine is v4.3 **Q: does it have the latest firmware 2.07 ?** A: I purchased mine in 2017 and running v5.0. I only use this meter for /p and /m to check for obvious antenna faults which as a guide works ok. It appears the manufacturer uses an odd firmware numbering system where the lower 2.07 is later than v5.0 As some time has passed since my purchase many other low cost meters have entered the arena, imo would be worth your looking at some of those options. **Q: Do the other connectors pictured in the advert on Amazon include the two connectors ? If not can i buy them from the same supplier ?** A: In the original product package also the two RG58-SMA connectors are included.
